Quick Start Steps
Transparent Firewall Configuration Steps
Transparent Firewall Configuration Steps
Follow these steps to configure the FWSM in transparent mode:
Task Description
Step 1
Assigning VLANs to the Firewall Services Module, page 2-2 On the switch, you need to assign VLANs to the
FWSM so the FWSM can send and receive traffic on
the switch.
Step 2
(Might be required) Adding Switched Virtual Interfaces to
the MSFC, page 2-5
If you want the MSFC to route between VLANs that
are assigned to the FWSM, complete this procedure.
Step 3
Sessioning and Logging into the Firewall Services Module,
page 3-1
From the switch CLI, you can session into the FWSM
to access the FWSM CLI.
Step 4
Setting the Firewall Mode, page 4-16 Before you configure any settings, you must set the
firewall mode to transparent mode. Changing the
mode clears your configuration.
Step 5
(Might be required; multiple context mode only) Enabling or
Disabling Multiple Context Mode, page 5-10
If you want to use multiple context mode and your
FWSM is not already configured for it, or if you want
to change back to single mode, follow this procedure.
Step 6
(Multiple context mode only) Configuring a Security
Context, page 5-19
Add a security context.
Step 7
(Multiple context mode only) Changing Between Contexts
and the System Execution Space, page 5-22
You must configure some settings in the system
execution space, and some settings within the
context, so you need to know how to switch between
contexts and the system execution space.
Step 8
Setting the Name and Security Level, page 6-7 For each VLAN interface, you must set a name (such
as inside or outside) and a security level.
Step 9
Setting the Management IP Address for a Transparent
Firewall, page 8-2
The transparent firewall requires a management IP
address.
Step 10
Adding an Extended Access Control List, page 10-13 Before any traffic can go through the FWSM, you
must create an ACL that permits traffic, and then
apply it to an interface.
